Calling Spade out of phylogenetics
by bohm inspade wrote on this thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/bible/206699/3/the-gentile-times-reconsidered.
although phylogenetic trees produced on the basis of sequenced genes or genomic data in different species can provide evolutionary insight, they have important limitations.
they do not necessarily accurately represent the species evolutionary history.the data on which they are based is noisy; the analysis can be confounded by horizontal gene transfer, hybridisation between species that were not nearest neighbors on the tree before hybridisation takes place, convergent evolution, and conserved sequences.. i would characterize myself as someone with more than a working knowledge in this field, given i have developed my own algorithm for doing something similar.

Heads up! Jesus is angry at the churches for their hospitals and feeding the poor......
by miseryloveselders innext week's congregation bible study will explain and illustrate why christendom is toast, and how we can contribute to the joy of christ by supporting "the faithful and discreet slave.".
the anger and the joy of the messianic king.

The texts quoted here are excellent. I will add one more:
Matthew 11:2-5
When John, who was in prison, heard about the deeds of the Messiah, he sent his disciples to ask him, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?”
Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor.

That means he is doomed. Obama's friends often end up under the bus.

61% of Americans OPPOSE Limiting Union Bargaining Power
Yet from the same poll:
So it is simple math. We either cut services and/or compensation, or we raise taxes, or some combination of all three.
Or we go bankrupt.
By far, the most unpopular thing is tax hikes.
As reality continues to messily hit the fan, something will continue it give. And if this poll is any guide, it will be services or compensation, not tax rates.

ARMH stock seems to be doing pretty well.
Don't I know it.
But it isn't going to do jack to the desktop market - and will likely only nudge laptops
Give it a few years. I think there is a good possibility that it will make inroads. Several of the big ARMH analysts, like RBC, think so too.
Businesses are not going to be lining up to break all compatibility and move to a whole new architecture. If I can't run my business apps on my laptop, it's just a fancy media player/toy.
A lot of apps are moving to the cloud, and if the next version of Windows will support it, I suspect at least Microsoft's app stack will also.

Fundi vs. Fundamentalist - T/J
by Georgiegirl ini started following thread when it was first posted, got busy, and then came back it was 12 pages long...so i'm starting a new one.. last night in my psych of religion class (which is incredibly fascinating, btw), i learned this:.
"fundamentalism" is a 20th century phenomenon.
it means that the believer has boiled down his beliefs to 5 fundamental beliefs:.

Again, Georgiegirl, your definition casts too wide a net.
By your definition, I am probably a fundamentalist.
If you want to do your own research into the history of fundamentalism, then I would suggest you start with Luther and the Five Solas. Google "five tenets of fundamentalism" for good place to start.
THE HISTORY OF A MOVEMENT CALLED FUNDAMENATALISM
Yet Fundamentalism was a Protestant movement. I'm a Catholic. However, going by your five points, which cover 90% of Christianity, I am a fundamentalist. Something doesn't jibe. You have been given a flawed definition.

The definition they gave you does not jibe with what I have always read and understood fundamentalism to be.
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fundamentalism
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamentalism
By the definition you gave, something like 90% of Christians would qualify as fundamentalist. Something doesn't fit.

Android will sharply outgrow iOS in the coming years. The number of Android apps will eventually be greater than iOS apps, as well.
Already, Microsoft and Intel are bit players in the fastest growing computing segment, which is mobile.
It is ARM Holdings that owns that space. More than 95% of the world's phones run on ARM.
Nearly all the tablets, that hot new consumer product category, run on ARM. This is true from the iPad to the Galaxy and almost everything in between.
Additionally, as ARM's designs become more powerful, Intel's near monopoly in the PC and server space will come under increasing pressure.
We will see other OS'es gaining market share on Windows for desktops too. HP has made recent announcements about rolling out WebOS for desktops. Guess what? WebOS currently runs on ARM.
The next version of Windows will support ARM. The last time a major operating system from Microsoft supported an architecture other than x86 was the 1990s. They see the writing on the wall.
Google's Chrome OS also supports ARM.
With ARM, I think we are witnessing something like what happened with WinTel in the 1990s: it pushed all the other architectures out.

What is your definition of a "Fundi" or a Fundamentalist?
by brotherdan ini've been called a "fundi" many times in my discussions with people on the board, and i'd like to know what your definition is of a "fundi".
don't google it.
i just want to hear your personal definition.. i find it interesting because i don't go to any church.

Did anyone in the story, besides the storyteller (who by the way has a larger role in the Hindu version of the story) have 1 shred of truth?
It says partial truth right there in the last stanza.
At the rate you are going, Brotherdan, you will be an atheist within 5 years--and a hardcore one at that.
I look forward to debating Atheistdan when it happens.
